E-ONE is now using Van Nay’s ECK coating to prevent corrosion of dissimilar metals on portions of the company’s cabs and bodies.

E-ONE tested the ECK coating using industry standard salt spray ASTM-B-117 laboratory methods. “We were delighted with the results showing that the ECK coating prevented the dissimilar metal corrosion reaction using stainless-steel hinges along with our aluminum compartment doors," said Rick Reed, E-ONE’s paint shop superintendent.

Mike Tomasetti, director of engineering at E-ONE said, “We are committed to providing our customers with the best fire apparatus units in the industry. Preventing electrolysis and galvanic corrosion with the ECK coating will be a value-added benefit for our customers."
